"Marcia is impeccable with details and puts forth 100% effort all the time. She also listens to what your thoughts are and what you are looking for. We love our new home -- it's stunning!"
Lori Erdos, Vice President, USA Today

A gorgeous Hudson River view and calming color palette paired with high voltage red suede balances the large custom cabinetry in this sexy duplex apartment. The living room’s dramatic centerpiece is the custom wall unit housing the 50" Plasma TV. These clients are real audiophiles and required lots of storage and state-of-the art AV equipment controlled from one remote. The use of exotic woods and finishes, luxurious fabrics combined with modern, contemporary furniture create the look of luxury and quality. The custom coffee tables bottom shelf is an extraordinary six feet long veneer of African crotch mahogany. This room is glamorous, high tech and peaceful all at the same time.

“At forty, I bought my first apartment and a friend recommended Marcia. I really liked what she had done for him and he raved about working with her. Marcia is passionate about details and cuts no corners. She understood me, listened to me and stayed within my budget.”
Mr. Andrew Quentzel, CEO, Quentzel Plumbing Supply Co., Inc.

Dramatic floor to ceiling windows and a view overlooking New York's East River set the tone for glamour in this decidedly chic, modern and sophisticated bachelor pad. A dose of red always warms up a primarily neutral, though sumptuous palette. It was used in the interior of a built-in display case, on two small suede ottomans and the lining of a faux fur throw. The background of creamy taupe faux-painted walls offset the drama of the shiny black lacquered floor, striped rug and cherry paneled walls. When you have such contrasts between light and dark values you must play it up. That's how you keep it interesting.

Marcia Delman is an award-winning designer, with a BFA in Art History from New York University. Her extensive knowledge of art, architecture, textiles, historical and global styles inspired her to found the Delman Design Group over 25 years ago.
Marcia’s passion for design can be traced back to her life-long love of art history. Leading her to become an avid traveler and collector of Asian art, multi-ethnic antique textiles, American folk art and patchwork quilts. She remains an acknowledged authority on American textiles and has lectured and curated several exhibitions. Most recently, she curated the permanent collection of antique American textiles for the Textile Building in New York City’s Tribeca.
It's no surprise that Marcia developed her talent for interior design, having grown up in a family of real estate developers. As a child, she spent most weekends visiting construction sites. She credits her initial interest in interior design to Mr. Lester Dundes, Publisher Emeritus of Interior Design Magazine and a close friend of her parents. She adored listening in on their conversations, which always included industry gossip and the latest design trends. When internationally acclaimed interior designer Michael DeSantis was retained to decorate her parents’ home, Marcia, in her teens, was enthralled. She admired Michael; years later, he encouraged her and generously shared his secret sources while giving her excellent advice.
Marcia was artistic growing up but didn't see herself as an artist. Instead, she thought of herself as an urban businesswoman with artistic ability. She launched The Patchworks in the 70's and Chaserie Accessories Ltd. in 1980, representing artists and manufacturers from around the world, in New York’s famed D&D building. A recipient of the National Resource Council Award that same year, she was invited to join ASID-The American Society of Interior Designers. She followed that success by founding the Delman Design Group, an innovative firm specializing in high-end turnkey residences for corporations. From this a niche market developed for single men and busy executive couples.
Marcia is a real pro in start up/turn key homes specifically for men, although she takes other commissions as well. Her impressive roster of high profile clients includes CEOs of prominent corporations and several well-known individuals in the media and the arts.
Marcia sees design challenges in each project. For every interior, Marcia believes, there should be "an awe factor- an artistic excitement about the room." The goal is always to have the client walk into his or her home and say, "This looks like me and I'm so happy and proud to be home."
With offices in both New York and Boca Raton, and a high tech, highly mobile approach to her work, Marcia brings her style, her sense of design and color, resources and speed to projects unparalleled in the industry.
